💍 Marriage
A vanilla friendly household + proximity buff system for Valheim that rewards loyalty, surviving and playing together.
Marriage lets players form Households (family-style groups) that gain shared bonuses when nearby and build long-term bonds over time — while feeling the loss when one of their own dies.
I have many ideas for further expansions, this is a very early release.
✨ Features
- Voluntary Households (marriage-style grouping)
- Family proximity buff when household members are nearby
- Tiered bonuses that scale with shared survival time
- Mourning debuff when a household member dies
- Fully server-authoritative and multiplayer safe
- Dedicated-server compatible

🛡️ Server Notes
- All logic is server-side
- Bond time persists across restarts
- Proximity uses ZDO positions (dedicated-server safe)
- Clients cannot spoof buffs or tiers
